The Nightyard focused on the (mis-)adventures of college student Maus Merryjest, a siberian tiger, and his boyfriend, a cheetah named Blackpaw. It was a furry comic that has inspired some of its readers to come out of the closet.

Unfortunately The Nightyard's records and archives were lost in a server crash at the Warren Wilson North Carolina campus. Various individuals have copies of particular comics here and there, and Maus Merryjest is currently working on piecing the archives back together through these copies.
